Collaborate with Woolswap

Woolswap is wishing to help support and promote people in our lovely yarny community and to help small businesses grow and is looking to collaborate with Indie Dyers, Project Bag Makers and Knitting and Crochet Notion Makers for the following:

Giveaway Prizes

Woolswap holds a giveaway once a month on Instagram and is now looking for prizes for these giveaways. Am looking for at least 100gms of Indie Dyed yarn, project bags and knitting and crochet notions.

Your benefit would be that you will be promoted throughout the giveaway and is your chance to get your business noticed out in our lovely yarny community.

Woolswap is willing to pay for the postage for your prize to be sent to Woolswap (base is in Brisbane, Australia) or directly to the prize winner.

Discount to Woolswap Members

Woolswap registrations are open every two months and we are now looking for people who sell Indie Dyed yarn, project bags and knitting and crochet notations.

Woolswap will promote on Social Media your discount and will provide links to your shop to enable as much exposure for your shop as possible.

You will need to provide a promotional image suitable for Social Media. Preferably one that Woolswap can add text and their logo to it.

Maximum of ten collaborators for each swap. If you miss out, you can be put on a list, which will be rotated for each swap.

Woolswap Hero

Woolswap registrations are open every two months and we are now looking for people who are willing to participate in being a Woolswap Hero.

This will mean that you can step in at the last minute and become a Woolswapper (free of charge) and provide a package to another Woolswapper, in the event that something beyond our control may happen.

If you are interested in any of the above, please contact Gaylestating which option you are interested in and any further questions you may have.

I am loving being involved in Woolswap. It is so nice to swap yarny delights with someone outside of my close circle of knitting friends. Reaching out and connecting with your Woolswap partner is easy to do. A few emails back and forth (plus the initial email with your partner details) and I am ready to start shopping for my next partner. It is a delight to open surprise packages full of yarn. You can send as little or as much as you like. I prefer to agree with the partner in how much we swap, that way no one gets disappointed by receiving less than giving. I have managed to receive yarns from Australian Indie Dyers that I haven't knitted with before so this is a bonus. My last swap I received a beautiful handmade zombie doll. She is taking pride of place in my shop.

I first came across the woolswap on instagram. As a yarn lover and having participated in a xmas gift exchange for a couple of years, I decided to give it a go. After signing up for the first woolswap and loving it, I decided to sign up for the whole year when the next turn came around! While the xmas gift exchanges were fun, this experience was even more fun for me! You know exactly who you're swapping with, you know what yarn and colours they prefer or don't prefer, and you get the joy of 'meeting' someone new and shopping for them! And even better, you know that the gift you're going to get in return is going to be yarn! I have met some lovely ladies so far and still chat with them through instagram. If you're a yarn lover and are keen to make some more friends, and meet some new yarn, then make sure you sign up!

I'm absolutely loving the whole woolswap experience. Gayle has done an amazing job of matching me with people with similar interests. It's almost as if she knows me personally even though we have never met.

It's almost as if she knows me personally even though we have never met. I love putting my woolswap parcel together as much, if not more, than receiving my parcel. If you've never done a woolswap before I can highly recommend joining this one. You won't regret it!
